Chapter 2309: The Steward's Tears
mouth.It seems the Lu family sent assassins to muddy the waters, trying to eliminate me and pin the blame on the Changsun family. Unexpectedly, under their own illusionary array, the assassins ended...The handsomely dressed young man clenched his fist, ready to cheer loudly. But before he could utter a sound, the sight before him froze him in place, speechless.
"Who is this kid"
The idea first came to his mind.
He was very clear that all the people around his cousin were masters. How could he be so easily defeated by a woman from the other side This was too unreasonable.
Zhao Lin, who was kneeling there, was also like this. For so many years, as long as the guards around him made a move, they had always been victorious. This situation was the first time it had happened.
Ye Bufan looked at him with a slight smile, bent down and patted his cheek: "Young Master Zhao, what other means do you have Just use them."
Zhao Lin gritted his teeth: “You… you little brat, I tell you, you’ve gotten into big trouble today. Do you know who I am”
"I don't know, why don't you tell me who you are."
Ye Bufan still wanted to stay in the imperial city for a while, not eager to leave. He would just bide his time and slowly play with the other party.
"Boy, I'm from the Zhao family!"
After Zhao Lin finished speaking, seeing that the other party did not react much, he should be an outsider who didn't know his identity. He continued, "My great uncle, Zhao Huiying, is the Grand Chamberlain of the Imperial Household and a powerhouse at the late stage of the Void Realm."
Ye Bufan was taken aback. He had just met Zhao Huiying and chatted about her blind brother, but now he unexpectedly encountered her incompetent nephew.
"You're saying Zhao Tong is your uncle"
"Of course!"
Seeing him like this, Zhao Lin thought the other party was scared, and immediately felt more confident.
Now you're afraid, aren't you I tell you, get down on your knees and apologize to this young master at once.
“Then all the spirit stones will be taken and used as compensation. You'll still get to keep your life, but if you don't, you won't be able to leave this imperial city alive!”
It's understandable that he would have this thought. Under Zhao Huiying's protection, the Zhao family was definitely one of the few prominent families in the entire imperial city.
Whether as the Grand Supervisor of the Imperial Palace or as a powerful figure at the late stage of the Void Realm, they are enough to make others look up to their family.
That is why the Zhao family becomes more and more arrogant, and they raise such a spoiled young master.
Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "In that case, just have him come over!"
"No tears before they fall, kid. Just wait until my uncle sees what you've done to me. Then you'll be in trouble."
This guy is the only child in the entire Zhao family. Zhao Huiying herself was unable to bear children, so she treated him as her own son, and even doted on him more than usual.
If we ever encountered a problem that we couldn't solve, all we had to do was bring up this uncle, and everything would be resolved smoothly.
This time, he felt the same way. To kneel before so many people was like slapping Zhao's family in the face.
Given Zhao Huiying's temperament, she would definitely retaliate like a storm if she came.
This young man in front of me is an outsider with no background. He definitely won't make it.
Not only him, but the handsomely dressed young man behind him also had this idea. He looked at Ye Bufan as if he were a dead man.
Zhao Lin put away the communication jade, glared at Ye Bufan viciously, "Boy, if you have the guts, just wait here and don't leave."
"You two are really like brothers, even your act of putting on airs is the same."
Ye Bufan smiled faintly, "I'm right here waiting. There's something I want to tell you, sometimes outsiders also have backgrounds."
"You're going to pay! Just you wait, when my uncle arrives, I'll crush you no matter your background!"
Zhaolin's heart was full of disdain. In his eyes, the only people more powerful than the emperor were himself and his uncle. Even those princes and nobles treated them with deference.
At this moment, in a bathhouse within the palace, icy water cascaded down from above, showering over a perfect physique.
This person is Zhao Huiying, who had just taken the Heavenly Supplement Pill. Now she has repaired her damaged body and is no longer a eunuch.
Although he was over a hundred years old, for a strong expert at the Void-Dwelling Realm, this age could only be considered middle-aged and not old.
Wiping the water droplets off his body, he came to the giant bronze mirror and looked at himself. After years of separation, his long-lost younger brother was back. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
For a man, it is not merely about physical wholeness, but represents the dignity of manhood.
In other words, if you have it, you're a man. Without it, you can only be called "gonggong."
Back then, due to the pressure of life, he was forced to enter the palace in order to survive with his younger brother.
For so many years, the wound in his heart has never healed, and he can only distract himself by training relentlessly.
Even though his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Void-Aperture Realm, he still regretted that he was not a complete man.
To my surprise, heaven has blessed me today by sending him a divine doctor who has healed his long-standing ailment.
Wiping away her tears and taking a deep breath to compose herself, Zhao Huiying murmured, "This little miracle doctor's medical skills are truly heaven-defying. It seems I should cultivate a good relationship with him in the future, who knows when I might need his help again."
And at that moment, his heart skipped a beat, and the jade talisman responded.
When Zhao Huying heard Zhao Lin's call, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this moment, I realized that my attitude towards this nephew had changed. Before, because he was the only seedling of the Zhao family, I indulged him endlessly.
But just in that moment, I felt my affection for him lessen a bit. Instead, I thought he had too many flaws, was too spoiled, and not capable of achieving great things.
In fact, human mentality is always changing. He used to be a eunuch, destined to have no children in this life, so he poured all his emotions into his nephew.
But now things are different, he has become a normal man, fully capable of having children of his own and no longer needs to put his emotions onto other people's sons.
These are subconscious changes, perhaps he hasn't realized it yet, but there is already a reaction within him.
But no matter what, Zhao Lin is still his nephew, and it concerns the face of the Zhao family that he cannot ignore.
He grabbed a robe and put it on, then vanished from the room in an instant.
Ye Bufan was surrounded by a growing crowd, but no one dared to approach him. They only watched from afar.
Zhao Lin was still kneeling there, occasionally glancing at the other side of the street, hoping that his great-uncle would arrive soon.
Others were the same, all knowing this young man had provoked the Zhao family and wanted to see how he would handle it with the steward arriving.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the street and strode towards them.
Although only one person arrived, he exuded an overwhelming aura of power, capable of rivaling a thousand soldiers.
In fact, achieving the state of "dongxu" is a realm where even the slightest movement can influence the power of heaven and earth. It's far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
Zhao Huying arrived here, and the others didn't notice. She truly saw Zhao Lin kneeling there at a glance. Her expression turned cold instantly, and her whole body emanated boundless killing intent.
Everyone knows he is the pillar of the Zhao family. For Zhao Lin to kneel here is tantamount to slapping him in the face.
At the same time, Zhao Lin also saw him and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Uncle, help! Quick!"
"Kill this bastard and avenge me!"ppable force, shattered his fist wind and crushed his protective immortal energy. A blood groove, a foot long, gushed with blood from his chest.At the same time, the furious sword intent directly sent...
